FOR NEW PLAYERS
Your First Adventure Starts Here
Tabletop RPGs are collaborative storytelling games — your character is who you play in the story. Abraxas Forge is a free, browser-based builder that handles the rules and math so you can focus on the character.
The Basics
Everything you need to know before you start — explained without jargon.
So... what is a tabletop RPG?
Imagine a collaborative story where you and your friends are the main characters. One person describes the world and the challenges. Everyone else decides what their character does. There are no screens, no controllers — just imagination, dice, and a whole lot of fun. People have been playing games like this for decades, and they never get old.
What is a character?
Your character is your alter ego in the game world. Maybe a scrappy street thief with a heart of gold. Maybe a battle-worn knight haunted by an old regret. Maybe a curious scholar who gets into way too much trouble. You decide who they are, what they're good at, and what drives them.
What does Abraxas Forge do?
Abraxas Forge is a free browser-based character builder. Pick your attributes, skills, and powers from clearly labeled menus — the Forge tracks the point math for you. When you're done, you have a complete character sheet ready for play.
Do I need to download anything?
Nope. Abraxas Forge lives entirely in your browser. No app to install, no account to sign up for. Open the link, start creating. It works on your phone, your tablet, your laptop — whatever you have handy.

Build it your way
